Nice to meet you; my name is Fay and am a teacher with a current Working With Children Check and a current VIctorian Institute registration as teacher. I have been a Homestay host mum for over 20 years and hosted all genders and nationalities across the world. My children are now away overseas hence i have 3 rooms available for you. i live in a great Victorian house (not an apartment or unit) with a backyard. I live in Armadale which is now considered one of Melbourne's leading locations and is close to all transport, shops, and schools and colleges;Only 20 minutes via Armadale train station to the CBD. We are situated 10 minutes to the train station and all other transport is just 2 minutes away. Close to a great library gyms and cafes and shops and restaurant and a terrific shopping centre. A really good location. I'd love to speak with you further so please don't hesitate to contact me on my email or mobile as i have some rooms coming up now. Many thanks cheers fay;
